PayPal ripoff

When I synched my Quicken software with my bank accounts this morning, I noticed some unauthorized PayPal charges.
I logged into my PayPal account and discovered 4 such transactions - 2 on Friday and 2 yesterday - totaling more than $1,500.
(Presumably, I bought a couple of Canon digital SLRs, which is highly unlikely since we're all Nikon.)
I immediately changed my PayPal password and disputed the claims.
I also changed passwords on several other online accounts and am not sitting at the bank to discuss further countermeasures.
I guess I'm glad this happened this week and not next week when I'll be in Colorado.
This must be my year to get ripped off.
Motherfuckers.
